speaker and president obama missed a great opportunity to help the economy. this was supposed to be the day he submitted his budget to the congress. but it is not coming. it will be late. some reports show it could be as much as a month late. i think it is too bad, our economy could use presidential leadership right now. >> fox news, also pretty angry about it this afternoon. >> well, thanks, the nation's debt blowing past 16 and a half trillion today. is this time for the president to blow past another deadline? >> he will never stop trying to raise taxes, whether he can succeed, i don't know, he believes in class war fare and radical wealth redistribution. >> and possibly a half percentage high rise in gdp. the white house should get the budget to congress on time, that is a good thing to do. the fact is, he needed an extension more than anyone, president clinton missed his deadline twice, presidents reagan and bush all missed it once, this evidence, while of course true, was reported by the white house budget committee and ignores a bit the various near sh

the difference is obama wants to avoid them. could the gop message on the sequester be anymore self-defeating. it made rush limbaugh uncharacteristically humble today. he had to admit there is something even he doesn't understand. >> boehner, echoing obama, in "the wall street journal," in answer to a question, the republicans support the sequester. they're on record as supporting it, even though it is obama's idea. they support it. it is the only way we're going to get budget cuts. the question is why would republicans support something that does what boehner says it is going to do? threatens u.s. national security? thousands of jobs could be lost. boehner is calling the cuts deep, when they're not. no, i do not have an explanation. i don't think that there is a reasonable explanation. i don't understand it. don't have an answer for you. it is too simple to chalk this up to incompetent. it may be that, but i don't have an answer, i can't explain it to you. all i know is that it doesn't make any sense. >> and since we are once a
